An alliance acting to conserve eagles worldwide.
The overall goal is to:
Ensure sustainable populations of eagles worldwide.
The goal will be accomplished by the ECA working to:

- conduct basic and applied research.
- provide advice and technical support.
- develop and distribute education and awareness materials.
- communicate and share news and information.
- fundraise for priority initiatives.
- build capacity (training) in science and eagle management.
- Formation of a working group to create a lay-friendly narrative on the value of eagles and the ECA, including its mission, purpose and priorities – to be used as a brochure and eventually for a website.
- Formation of a working group to create a development strategy that will identify additional individuals with appropriate expertise who are willing to assist with fundraising.
- Formation of a working group on compiling known information on eagle biology in the disciplines of behavior, genetics, nutrition, reproduction, infectious diseases and preventative medicine.
- Decision to create a task force that would have the capacity for dealing with species-specific issues that would define biological uniqueness and continuing education to benefit both ex situ and in situ programs.
- Decision to endorse, support and/or conduct multiple projects, including surveys on species status and specific training needs. Projects are described in the specific section: "Ongoing projects".
